I’m bored so I’m going on an Asking Spree

do you like sports, if so, which one are you best at?

Depends on the sport really, I personally do track (& field), cross country, and I’ve done a year of volleyball and like it, but I’m probably not going to stick with it once I move this summer (I would if I wasn’t moving). I don’t really watch professional sports much, but I do enjoy watching all the sports at my high school, whether I complete in them or not.

As for what I’m best at? Track. I’ve been doing it pretty much every year of my life since 3rd grade and I’ve always loved running. I’m more of a distance runner although I did drop the 3200 and leave that in 2023 (sometimes I miss it though, I might go back to it next year). And although I am primarily a distance runner my 4x4 relay team went to state last year and we’re super close to going again this year. I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made the last 2 seasons

You will remain at a distance from God

If you knowingly sin and just hope it will go away, you will remain at a distance from God. Your conscience is troubled. You feel distant from your heavenly Father.

All of us who have walked with God for any amount of time have experienced something like this. It’s no fun. It’s like saying something mean to a friend or family member and then trying to ignore it. What do you need to do? You need to take responsibility for what you said or did, and that begins the process of reconciliation. You need to say, “I’m sorry.”

The same is true with God. The person who walks with God has a regular practice of confessing his or her sin to God.

Frozen Toes 5k (actually 3.66)

1)this race was AMAZING

2)I didn't know I signed up to climb Mt. Everest

3)this race was BRUTAL

My running outfit <3 I just got this shirt yesterday for my birthday! I loved running it, it's so comfortable and super soft. In my sister we trust when it comes to what clothing for what weather. I was going to run with my rain jacket too, but she told me to just do the shirt. I am so glad I listened to her, because I would have been so hot. I actually felt a little hot just in the shirt.

The starting (and finish line)!! I showed up 45 minutes early. Plenty of time to use the restroom, mill around, warm up, and be indecisive about what to wear (thankfully, listened to my sister)

The course was ROUGH, but it was so much fun. it was basically all uphill until a little over the last half mile. The course was also .56 over the 5k limit, but they sent out an email beforehand so I was prepared for that.

It was also MUDDY. Thankfully, I managed to avoid most of the mud puddles until the very last bit, right before we got back on the pavement to kick in the last .15 of the race. However, WOW, did my feet become bricks as soon as they got coated in mud. They were so heavy, but I still kicked it in and passed three (or four?) people.

I was really delighted with myself when I realized how positively I was talking to myself during the race. I was so proud of how well I was handling the hills considering where I live, there aren't really any hills. Like one of my "courses" has a sort of big hill that could not even be compared to the hills I ran on today. I am being serious when I say, pretty much 90% of the race was uphill. We went down hill right as we hit the third mile. and the downhill was steep. It was really fun because I felt like I was flying, but I was also desperately trying to throw my feet out in front of me to avoid becoming a snowball. There was no way I could slow down or stop....if I fell, I was just going to keep going.

Not only that, it was also a trail race and I run on pavement. I don't usually have the time to trail run, but after this race, I definitely want to run more on the trails. This race wasn't that far from me so I will be running on these trails more!

Besides that, I was so kind to myself. My self talk has changed. I have learned (and am still learning) to just enjoy running. To love myself, to love my times, to love my pace, and to love just running. I'm not running for a college anymore, I'm running solely for myself, so why be so mean to myself? If I would not say it to a friend, I should not say it to myself.

I didn't care if people passed me, I didn't beat myself up when I walked. Because frankly, I was KILLING it. I was running a really hilly course with lots of mud, rocks, and roots and I was doing GREAT. And besides that, who cares how fast or slow I ran it, I was running it and I was having a great time!!!

My post race beer! Confirmed it, beer still tastes terrible. I haven't had a beer in three years because I had to cut gluten out of my diet for a long time... I think I could go another three years before having another one.

When I tell this race was challenging, I mean it. I was running at a pace that is usually more of an easy, relaxed run, but I was HUFFING and PUFFING up those hills. My heart rate was red lining literally all but 1 minute and 57 seconds of the race. It was challenging. I definitely want to do another trail race.

My super cute mug!!

The farther I go The less I know One foot goes in front of the other It all boils around to not hanging around To keep moving in front of the gravity The answer is there the answer Is there but there is not a fixed Position it keeps moving along so I keep coming along and that's why I'm a long distance runner and if I stop to catch my breath I might Catch a piece of death I can't Keep your pace if I want to finish This race my fight's not with it it's With the gravity long distance runner
